    JFK: Inside the Assassination Records Review Board

     

    After 13 years of research, author Douglas P. Horne, chief archivist of the Assassination Records Review Board, provides the evidence in a new, five volume book newly released this week.

    Archive Photos Not of JFK's Brain, Concludes Aide to Review Board
    By George Lardner Jr.
    Washington Post Staff Writer
    Tuesday, November 10, 1998;

     

    The five-member panel, which closed down Sept. 30, was not set up to make findings about the assassination and did not take a position on the hypothesis set out in the 32-page report by Douglas Horne, the board's chief analyst for military records.

     

    The central contention of the report is that brain photographs in the Kennedy records are not of Kennedy's brain and show much less damage than Kennedy sustained when he was shot in Dallas and brought to Parkland Hospital there on Nov. 22, 1963. The doctors at Parkland told reporters then that they thought Kennedy was shot from the front and not from behind as the Warren Commission later concluded.

     

    "I am 90 to 95 percent certain that the photographs in the Archives are not of President Kennedy's brain," Horne, a former naval officer, said in an interview. "If they aren't, that can mean only one thing -- that there has been a coverup of the medical evidence." Horne contends that the damage to the second brain reflected a shot from behind. He says the first brain was Kennedy's and reflected a shot from the front.
